RCMP Charge Ontario Man With Attempting To Pass Naval Secrets To China -- Globe and Mail
Police are charging a 53-year-old engineer with attempting to pass along classified Canadian shipbuilding techniques to China, a set of allegations that speaks to how private contractors can be possible backdoor threats to government secrets.
The RCMP-led probe known as “Project Seascape” resulted in the arrest of Qing Quentin Huang. Police accuse the Waterdown, Ont., man of attempting “to communicate to a foreign entity information that the government of Canada is taking measures to safeguard.”
While police allege that Mr. Huang acted alone to take steps to illegally pass along material to China, there is no known allegation that any Chinese official agreed to take any material. In fact it is not clear what, if any, classified government material Mr. Huang could have had – his company says he had no direct access to any sensitive files.
